Nutty, roasted cauliflower tossed with sweet golden raisins, salty currants and crunchy walnuts. So much deliciousness in every bite!

Let’s talk about the raisins, because although every component is important, it’s what truly makes this dish. The sweetness brings out the caramelized flavors of the cauliflower and makes for a great sweet and salty combination with the capers. Naturally-sweet with no added sugar, unlike many other dried fruits, I always keep raisins on hand to add a bit of sweetness to savory dishes like braised greens, pilafs, and curries.

Maybe it’s the association with oatmeal cookies and and other sweet treats, but I find many people don’t realize how nutritious raisins are. Remember, it’s dried grape, so raisins have all the same beneficial compounds. Raisins are also a good source of fiber, potassium and iron.

Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend you can find in most well stocked groceries or order online. If you don’t have it, simply season the cauliflower with salt and pepper. The other ingredients add plenty of flavor.
